LOCATION

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the appliance are primary concerns. However, vent system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of trafﬁc and away from furniture and draperies (Figure 3).

En raison des températures élevées, l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a peu de circulation et loin du mobilier et des tentures (Figure 3).

The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting.

These direct-vent appliances are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the ﬁreplace. Utility shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.

VERTICAL VENT (Top Vent Application)

Be aware that this is a heat producing appliance. Objects placed above the unit are exposed to elevated temperatures.

Do not insulate the space between the appliance and the area above it (see

Figure 8). The minimum height from the base of the

appliance to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Figure 8.

The appliance must be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. The appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood ﬂooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES Appliance And Vent Clearances

The appliance is approved with zero clearance to combustible materials on all sides (as detailed in Table 5), with the following exception: When the unit is installed with one side ﬂush with a wall,

the wall on the other side of the unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the unit. In addition, when the unit is recessed, the side

walls surrounding the unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the unit (see Figure 3).

Hearth Extension—A hearth extension is not required with this

appliance. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control compartment door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.

Shelf Height—To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, use

the alternate rear vent outlet, the venting attached to the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the space above the appliance. Do not insulate the space between the appliance and the area above it (see Figure 8). The minimum height from the base of the appliance to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Figure 8.

The appliance should be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. The appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface must be used.

Note: Combustible wall ﬁnish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area deﬁned by the appliance front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance face (see Figures 65 and 66 on Page 34).

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance face with these exceptions: they must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel or control compartment.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 9. Mantels constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the ﬁreplace hood.

Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance. NOTE: We recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175 °F, or higher) on the underside of the mantel.

At 6 in. minimum side wall clearance, a combustible wall can project to any length.

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS Step 1. FRAMING

Frame the appliance as illustrated in Figures 13 and 14 on Pages 10 and 11 (Figure 13

applies to corner framing installations only). All framing details must allow for a minimum clearance to combustible framing members as shown in Table 5 on Page 8.

If the appliance is to be elevated above ﬂoor level, a solid continuous platform must be constructed below the appliance.

Headers may be in direct contact with the appliance top standoff spacers when they are bent up vertically, maintaining the 3 in. clearance to the ﬁreplace top, but must not

be supported by them or notched to ﬁt around them. All construction above the appliance must be self-supporting. DO NOT use the appliance for structural support.

Secure the ﬁreplace to the side framing members using the unit’s nailing ﬂanges — one top and bottom on each side of the ﬁreplace front. See Figure 11. Use 8d nails or their equivalent.

Bend up the appropriate header spacing top standoffs before installing the ﬁreplace.

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas supply line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. We recommend that a qualiﬁed individual such as a plumber or gas ﬁtter be hired to correctly size and route the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls, pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no one unfamiliar and unqualiﬁed should attempt sizing or installing gas piping.

• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page 4 for additional requirements for

installations in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.

• The gas supply line should Not be

connected to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 25).

• A pipe joint compound rated for gas

should be used on the threaded joints.

Ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications. Be very

careful that the pipe compound does not get inside the pipe.

• It is recommended to install a sediment

trap in the supply line as close as possible to the appliance.

• Check with local building ofcial for local

code requirements.

IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware

that if tank size is too small (i.e. under

100 lbs, if this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling. Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure, resulting in

insufﬁcient fuel delivery (which can result

in sooting, severe delayed ignition or other

malfunctions). Any damage resulting from

an improper installation, such as this, is

not covered under the limited warranty.

WHEN USING THE REAR VENT

Step 3. PREPARING APPLIANCE VENT COLLAR (MPD35/-40/-45 models with

combined top/rear vent)

Each of the unit’s two vent collars are sealed with a cover plate and a seal plate and gasket. The cover, and seal plate and gasket must be removed from the vent collar being used. Refer to Figure 15 for top vent usage and Figure 16 for rear, and the following steps to prepare the appropriate collar for use.

From the vent collar being used, remove the four screws securing the vent seal plate and gasket. Remove and discard the seal plate and gasket.

When the top vent collar is being used, from inside the ﬁrebox, loosen the two screws in the keyhole slots of the cover plate and remove the remaining two cover plate securing screws. Remove and discard the cover plate. Reinstall and securely tighten

all four screws. When the rear vent collar is being used,

from inside the ﬁrebox, remove the two screws securing the lintel to the rear wall of the ﬁrebox, then remove the lintel. Remove the four cover plate securing screws. Remove and discard the cover plate.

Reinstall and securely tighten all four cover plate screws. Re-secure the lintel to the rear wall of the ﬁrebox.

WARNING

Failure to reinstall and securely tighten cover plate screws could result in leakage of ﬂue products into the living space. Vent cover plate and vent seal cap must remain securely installed on unused vent collar. Failure to do so could result in leakage of ﬂue products into living space.

Step 4. INSTALLING VENT SYSTEM

Ensure clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.

Dégagement conforme aux codes d'installa tion locaux et aux exigences du foumisseunde gaz.

Use only approved vent components (see Approved Vent Components on Page 2).

These ﬁreplaces must be vented directly to the outside.

The vent system may not service multiple appliances, and must never be connected to a ﬂue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. The vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.

Installation of Vent Restrictor

A vent restrictor may be needed with this appliance, install vent restrictor (provided) in the appliance top ﬂue outlet as shown in Figure 17 (MPDT33, MPD35, MPD40 and MPD45) or rear ﬂue outlet as shown in Figure 18 (MPD35, MPD40 and MPD45). It is held in place by friction, only.

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)

See Figure 19 and Figures 30 through 32 on Page 17 and their associated

Vertical Vent Tables, which illustrate the various vertical venting conﬁgurations that are possible for use with these appliances.

Secure Vent® pipe applications are shown in

these Figures; Secure Flex® pipe may also be used. A Vertical Vent Table summarizes each system’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length values that can be used to design and install the vent components in a variety of applications.

Both these vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls is speciﬁed in ANSI Z223.1-2009 (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA-B149.1 installation code) by major building codes. Always consult your local codes for speciﬁc requirements. A general guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to Figure 5 on Page 6).

(Plumber's tape

Vertical (Offset) Installation

Analyze the vent routing and determine the quantities of vent sections and number of elbows required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on Page 14 to select the type of vertical installation desired. Vent sections are available in net lengths of 4 1/2 in. (114 mm), 10 1/2 in. (267 mm), 22 1/2 in. (572 mm), 34 1/2 in. (876 mm) and 46 1/2 in. (1181 mm). Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart on Page 14 for an aid in selecting length combinations. Elbows are available in 90° and 45° conﬁgurations. Refer to Figure 23 for the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional speciﬁcations.

Where required, a telescopic vent section (SV4.5LA) may be used to provide the installer with an option in installing in tight and conﬁned spaces or where the vent run made up of ﬁxed length pieces develops a joint in a undesirable location, or will not build up to the required length. The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an effective length of from 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) to 7 1/2 in. (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is ﬁtted with a locking inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent section component) and a plain end with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the locking channel end of a standard SV4.5 vent component the required distance and secure with three screws.

Maintain a minimum 1 in. (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials for all vertical elements. Clearances for all horizontal elements are 3 in. (76 mm) on top, 1 in. (25 mm) on sides and 1 in. (25 mm) on the bottom.

A. Frame ceiling opening—Use a plumb line

from the ceiling above the appliance to locate center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10 1/2 in. x 10 1/2 in. (267 mm x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this center mark (Figure 20).

B. Attach vent components to appliance— Secure Vent® SV4.5 direct vent system

components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist lock connections (see Figure 18). All of the appliances covered in this document are ﬁtted with collars having locking inclined channels.

Min. 10-1/2" (267 mm)

Figure 20

The dimpled end of the vent components ﬁt over the appliance collar to create the positive twist lock connection.To attach a vent component to the appliance collar, align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples are aligned with the inlet of the four inclined channels on the collar (refer to Figure 21). Push the vent component against the collar until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise, running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels. The unitized design of the Secure Vent® components will engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe without the need for sealant or screws. If desired a #6 x 1/2 in. screw may be used at the joint, but it is not required as the pipe will securely lock when twisted.

Note: An elbow may also be attached to the appliance collar. Attach in the same manner as you would a vent section.

C. Attach vent components to each other—

Other vent sections may be added to the previously installed section in accordance with the requirements of the vertical vent ﬁgures and tables. To add another vent component to a length of vent run, align the dimpled end over the inclined channel end of the previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the previous section.

Push the vent component against the previous section until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

This seating position is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and dimple as shown in Figure 21.

D. Install ﬁrestop/spacer at ceiling—

When using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF ﬁrestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF ﬁrestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the ﬁrestop/spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the ﬁrestop/spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the ﬁrestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1 in. (25 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections. Attic insulation shield (96K94) may be used to obtain the required clearances indicated here. See installation accessories table on Pages 35 and 36. The gap between the vent pipe and a vertical ﬁrestop can be sealed with non-combustible caulking.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections—

Note: Proper venting support is very important.

Support the vertical portion of the venting system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the ﬁreplace vent outlet. One method of support is by utilizing ﬁeld provided support straps (conventional plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's tape to the framing members with nails or screws. Loop the tape around the vent, securing the ends of the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2 in. length may be used to secure the support straps to the vent pipe. See

Figure 22.

Align the dimple (four places) of the upper vent section with the opening of the locking incline channel on the lower vent section or appliance collar. Twist vent component clockwise to engage and seal until arrow and

F. Change vent direction to horizontal/ inclined run—At transition from or to a

horizontal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist section to allow them to be routed about the center axis of their initial collar section to align with the required direction of the next vent run element. Twist elbow

sections in a clockwise direction only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking any of the previously connected vent sections. See

Figure 23.

Figure 23

G. Continue installation of horizontal/ inclined sections—Continue with the

installation of the straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run as described in Step C. Install support straps every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.

It is very important that the horizontal/ inclined run be maintained in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4 in. per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a direction away from the ﬁreplace. The rise per foot run ratios that

are smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as necessary.

It is important to maintain the required clearances to combustibles: 1 in. (25 mm) at all sides for all vertical runs; and 3 in. (76 mm) at the top, 1 in. (25 mm) at sides, and 1 in. (25 mm) at the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

H. Frame roof opening—Identify location for

vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per Roof Framing Chart and Figure 24.

I. Install the roof ﬂashing—Extend the vent sections through the roof structure. Install the roof ﬂashing over the vent section and position such that the vent column rises vertically (use carpenters level) (Figure 25 ). Nail along perimeter to secure ﬂashing or adjust rooﬁng to overlap the ﬂashing edges at top and sides only and trim where necessary. Seal the top and both sides of the ﬂashing with waterproof caulking.

J. Install the storm collar—Install the storm collar, supplied with the ﬂashing, over the vent/ﬂashing joint. See Figure 25. Loosen the storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets the top of the ﬂashing. Tighten the adjusting screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or mastic around the circumference of the joint to provide a water tight seal.

K. Install the vertical termination—The ﬁnal step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent termination section" on Page 5. The SV4.5CGV-1 Vertical Termination (Figure 26) installs in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent® section. Align the termination over the end of the previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the termination are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the last vent section. Push the termination down until it fully engages, then twist the termination clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

Figure 26

If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5 m) above the roof ﬂashing, stabilizers may be necessary. Additional screws may be used at section joints for added stability. Guide wires may be attached to the joint for additional support on multiple joint conﬁgurations.

VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES

Note: Secure Vent® (rigid vent pipe) is shown in the ﬁgures; Secure Flex® (ﬂexible vent pipe) may also be used.

Note: It is very important that the horizontal/ inclined run be maintained in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4 in. per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a direction away from the ﬁreplace. The rise per foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level.

Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex®) ﬁrestop/spacer must be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible ﬂoor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex®) ﬁrestop/spacer must be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.

Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the venting ﬁgures for 90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree elbows are used.

Note: An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of vertical rise, except where an elbow is the

only vertical component in the system. (See Figure 36 on Page 21).

TYPICAL HORIZONTAL VENT INSTALLATION

HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL) TERMINATION SYSTEM

Figure 33, and Figures 39 to 44 on Pages 21 to 23 and their associated

Horizontal Vent Table illustrate the various horizontal venting conﬁgurations that are possible for use with these appliances.

Secure Vent® pipe applications are shown in

these ﬁgures; Secure Flex® pipe may also be used. A Horizontal Vent Table summarizes each system’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length values that can be used to design and install the vent components in a variety of applications. Both of these horizontal vent systems terminate through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit terminating in speciﬁc areas. Refer to Figure 8 on Page 7 for location guidelines.

Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer to Figure 21 on Page 15). All of the appliances covered in this document are ﬁtted with collars having locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of the vent components ﬁt over the appliance collar to create the positive twist lock connection.

A. Plan the vent run—Analyze the vent routing and determine the types and quantities of sections required 4 1/2 in. (114 mm), 10 1/2 in. (267 mm), 22 1/2 in. (572 mm), 34 1/2 in. (876 mm) and 46 1/2 in. (1181 mm) net section lengths are available. It is recommended that you plan the venting so that a joint does not occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Allow for elbows as indicated in Figure 23

on Page 16. Maintain a minimum 1 in. (25 mm) clearance

to combustibles on the vertical sections. Clearances for the horizontal runs are; 3 in. (76 mm) on top, 1 in. (25 mm) on sides, and 1 in. (25 mm) at the bottom.

B. Frame exterior wall opening—Locate

the center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall according to the dimensions shown in Figure 9 on Page 8. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10 1/2 in. x 12 1/8 in. (267 mm x 308 mm) inside dimensions, about this center.

C. Frame ceiling opening—If the vertical route is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate the center above the appliance. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10 1/2 in. x 10 1/2 in. (267 mm x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this center (refer to

Figure 20 on Page 15). D. Attach vent components to appliance—To

attach a vent component to the appliance collar, align the dimpled end over the collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure 21 on Page 15).

Push the vent component against the collar until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise, running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels. The unitized design of the Secure Vent components will engage and seal both the inner and outer pipe elements with the same procedure. Sealant and securing screws are not required.

Note: An elbow may also be attached to the appliance collar. Attach in the same manner as you would a vent section.

E. Attach vent components to each other—

Other vent sections may be added to the previously installed section in accordance with the requirements of the vent tables. To add another vent component to a length of vent run, align the dimpled end of the component over the inclined channel end of the previously installed section, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the previous section. Push the vent component against the previous section until it fully engages, then twist the component clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.This seating

position is indicated by the alignment of the arrow and dimple as shown in Figure 21 on

Page 15.

F. Install ﬁrestop/spacer at ceiling— When using Secure Vent, use SV4.5VF ﬁrestop/spacer at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex®, use SF4.5VF ﬁrestop/spacer. If there is living space above the ceiling level, the ﬁrestop/ spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the ﬁrestop/ spacer must be installed on the top side of the joist. Route the vent sections through the framed opening and secure the ﬁrestop/spacer with 8d nails or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1 in. (25 mm) clearance to combustibles, framing members, and attic or ceiling insulation when running vertical chimney sections.

G. Support the vertical run sections— On the vertical run, support the venting system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the ﬁreplace vent outlet with ﬁeld provided support straps (Plumber's tape). Attach the straps to the vent pipe and secure to the framing members with nails or screws. See

Figure 22 on Page 15.

H. Change vent direction—At transition from or to a horizontal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist section to allow them to be routed about the center axis of their initial collar section to align with the required direction of the next vent run element. Twist elbow sections in a

clockwise direction only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking any of the previously connected vent sections. See Figure 23 on Page 16.

I. Continue installation of horizontal/ inclined sections—Continue with the

installation of the straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run as described in Step E. Install support straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape. See Figure 32,

are smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant surface and adjust the support straps as necessary.

not previously measured, locate the center of the vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as described in Step B. Assemble the vent system to point where the terminus of the last section is within 7 in. (178 mm) to 11 1/4 in. (286 mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which the SV4.5 HT termination is to be attached, see Figure 34. If the terminus of the last section is not within this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure 34, refer to Table 9 on Page 21. This table lists the additional venting components needed (in addition to the termination and adaptor) for a particular range of wall thicknesses.

K. Attach termination adaptor—Attach the adaptor (SV4.5RCH, provided with the termination) to the vent section or telescoping vent section), elbow or appliance collar as shown in Figure 33 in the same manner as any SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).

L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall— When using the square termination, install SV4.5HF (Secure Vent®), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex®) Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exterior side of the framing, long side up, with the 3 inch spacer clearance at the top as shown in Figure 33, and nail into place (the Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over the opening at the interior side of the framing).

M. Install the desired termination

1. Install the square termination (SV4.5HT-2 or SV4.5HTSS)—For the last

step , from outside the exterior wall, slide the collars of the termination onto the adaptor (the outer over the outer and the inner inside the inner) until the termination seats against the exterior wall surface to which it will be attached. Orient the housing of the termination with the arrow pointed upwards. Secure the termination to the exterior wall. The horizontal termination

must not be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by more than the 1 1/4 in. (32 mm)

as shown in Figure 34. SVHRK Snorkel Cap—The snorkel cap

is designed to be ﬁtted into a basement window box. The SVHRK cap is for use with ﬂex vent. The vertical distance between the inlet and outlet of the cap is 28 in. (711 mm).

IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hot while in operation and for a period of time following the use of the ﬁreplace. To prevent contact with hot surfaces, we recommend the use of a Termination Guard. See Page 36. This can be purchased at your local dealer.

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.

When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooﬂines may create a heavy ﬂow of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.

Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the use of silicone caulking where required.

Note: Secure Vent® components (rigid vent pipe and terminal) are shown in the ﬁgures; Secure Flex® components (ﬂexible vent pipe and terminal) may also be used.

Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the venting ﬁgures for 90 elbows, must be followed if 45 degree elbows are used.

Note: It is very important that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline is approximately 1/4 in. per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a direction away from the replace. The rise

per foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the way down to at or near level.

Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent®), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex) ﬁrestop/spacer must be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible ﬂoor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) ﬁrestop/spacer must be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL VENTING USING

SECURE FLEX

Secure Flex® venting kits and components

may be used in any venting application where rigid Secure Vent® (SV4.5) direct vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply to the ﬂexible venting.

Secure Flex kits may not be modiﬁed; also, under no circumstances may separate sections of ﬂex pipe be joined together. Secure Flex kits may be added to the end

of a vent run made up of rigid Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent sections provided that doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.

Secure Flex kits come with an included adaptor that can be ﬁtted to the appliance collar or the inclined channel end of the last Secure Vent (SV4.5) vent section in a rigid system in the exact same fashion as any other Secure Vent section. Align the dimpled end of the adaptor over the previously installed section or appliance collar, adjusting the radial alignment until the four locking dimples of the adaptor are aligned with the inlets of the four incline channels of the last vent section or collar. Push on the adaptor until it fully engages, then twist the adaptor clockwise running the dimples down and along the incline channels until they seat at the end of the channels.

Attach the ﬂexible vent to the adaptor as follows (see Figure 42):

A. Install the Inner Flex Pipe

1. Install the small gear clamp loosely around

the inner ﬂexible vent pipe, push it back out of the way.

2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700°F) high temperature sealant—Catalog No. 10K81) to the inner adaptor collar,

approximately 1/2 inch from the end.

3. Pull and extend the inner ﬂexible vent pipe.

4. Slide the inner ﬂex pipe over the

adaptor collar. Ensure the ﬂexible vent pipe completely engages the adaptor collar to a distance of 1 3/4 inches from the end, and that it is free from damage or tears.

5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it fully to secure the ﬂexible vent to the adaptor inner collar approximately 3/4 inch from the end of the ﬂex.

6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart through the ﬂexible vent pipe and into the adaptor collar just below the gear clamp to provide additional security to the connection.

B. Install the Outer Flex Pipe

1. Install the large gear clamp loosely around

the outer ﬂexible vent pipe, push it back out of the way.

KITS AND COMPONENTS

Figure 42

2. Apply a bead of Mill-Pac Black (700°F) high temperature sealant—Catalog No. 10K81) to the outer adaptor collar; to

the grooves of the collar which extend approximately 1 inch from the end and to the ﬂat surface, approximately 1 3/8 inches from the end.

3. Pull and extend the outer ﬂexible vent pipe.

4. Slide the outer ﬂex pipe over the

adaptor collar. Ensure the ﬂexible vent pipe completely engages the adaptor collar to a distance of 1 3/4 in. from the end, and that it is free from damage or tears.

5. Slide the gear clamp down and tighten it fully to secure the ﬂexible vent to the adaptor outer collar approximately 3/4 inch from the end of the ﬂex.

6. Install three screws 120 degrees apart through the ﬂexible vent pipe and into the adaptor collar just below the gear clamp to provide additional security to the connection.

C. Route Flex Vent

Ensure that the ﬂex vent is properly routed to provide the required clearance. Do Not allow the ﬂexible vent to bend in a radius tighter than 5 in. (127 mm). Refer to Figure 43. Place the internal ﬂex vent spacers evenly and avoid kinking the inner pipe. Support horizontal sections of ﬂex vent with metal straps at 2 ft (0.61 m) intervals.

D. Install Firestop/Spacers at ceilings and walls

When Secure Flex penetrates a wall or ceiling, a ﬁrestop/spacer is required: use the SF4.5 VF ﬁrestop/spacer for ceilings and the SF4.5 HF ﬁrestop/spacer for walls.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

See the appropriate sections and ﬁgures shown throughout the venting section for their installation requirments.

Figure 43

E. Attach Flex Vent to Termination Secure Flex components can be purchased

separately and attached to bulk lengths of Secure Flex ﬂexible tubing cut to size at the job site. Secure the ﬂexible vent to the Secure Flex terminations in the same manner (see Figure 42) as it was attached to the adaptor.

Note: Secure Flex vent must be attached to Secure Flex terminations only. DO NOT substitute Secure Vent terminations or the Secure Vent adaptor for Secure Flex components. The collars of Secure Flex terminations and adaptors have a different circumference than that used with the Secure Vent pipe. Additionally, Secure Flex components have an extended length center tube for use in attaching the ﬂexible vent.

Step 7. CONNECTING GAS LINE

Make gas line connections. All codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 47 illustrates two methods for connecting the gas supply. The ﬂex-line method is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements vary depending on locality. Installation must be in compliance with local codes.

These appliances are equipped with a gas ﬂex line for use (where permitted) in connecting the unit to the gas line. A gas ﬂex line is provided to aid in attaching the direct vent appliance to the gas supply. The gas ﬂex line can only be used where local codes permit. Refer to Figure 47 for ﬂex line description. The ﬂex line is rated for both natural and propane gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided with the ﬂex line.

The gas control valve is located in the lower control compartment.

To access the valve open the lower control compartment door (see Figure 48 ) by pushing in the right top corner of the door. (The door is hinged at the bottom.) Remove the bottom compartment door by sliding the hinge pin, located at the door’s left side, to the right until it disengages from the left corner post hole. Pull the door diagonally to the left, away from the ﬁreplace.

The millivolt control valve has a 3/8 in. (10 mm) NPT thread inlet port. The electronic control valve has a 1/2 in. (13 mm) NPT thread inlet port and is ﬁtted with a 1/2 in. x 3/8 in. (13 mm x 10 mm) NPT ﬁtting.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications). Optional: Seal around the gas line to prevent cold air leakage. Gas line holes and other openings can be caulked or stuffed with unfaced ﬁberglass insulation.

All codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. The orientation of the shut-off valve should face the front. Figure 47 illustrates two methods for connecting the gas supply. A sediment Trap is recommended to prevent moisture and debris in the gas line for damaging the valve.

WARNING

Never use an open ﬂame to check for leaks.

WARNING

•DONOTattempttoinstallthe

logs until the appliance installation has been completed, the gas line connected and tested for leaks and the initial burner operation has been checked out.

• The size and position of the log set

was engineered to give the appliance a safe, reliable and attractive ﬂame pattern. Any attempt to use a different log set in the ﬁreplace will void the warranty and will result in incomplete combustion, sooting, and poor ﬂame quality.

• Logs get very hot and will remain

hot up to one hour after gas supply is turned off. Handle only when logs are cool. Turn off all electricity to the appliance before you install grate, volcanic stone, embers and logs.

• This appliance is not designed to

burn wood. Any attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to the appliance and prove hazardous to your safety.

• If logs are not installed accord-

ing to the log installation instructions, ﬂame impingement and improper combustion could occur and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.

Figure 52

NOTE: Turn off all electricity to the appliance before you install volcanic stone, embers and logs.

Step 1. Remove the appliance front door (see Removing Glass Encloslure panel on Page 32.

Step 2. Install decorative volcanic stone—

Sprinkle the decorative volcanic stone in a pleasing pattern. The volcanic stone should be placed directly on top of the ﬁrebox bottom, along the front and to the back at the right and left sides of the burner. Position any optional ceramic ﬁber liners before placing the stone. Logs should be positioned after the volcanic stone.

Step 11. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Flame Appearance and Sooting

Proper ﬂame appearance is a ﬂame that is blue at the base and becomes yellowishorange in the body of the ﬂame.

When the appliance is ﬁrst lit, the entire ﬂame may be blue and will gradually turn yellowish-orange during the ﬁrst 15 minutes of operation. If the ﬂame remains blue, or if the ﬂame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.

If the air shutter opening is closed too far, sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of very long orange ﬂames. Sooting results in black deposits forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the ﬂames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellowish-orange ﬂame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines

• If there is smoke or soot present, rst

check the log set positioning to ensure that the ﬂames are not impinging on any of the logs. If the log set is properly positioned and a sooting condition still exists, then the air shutter opening should be increased.

• The more offsets in the vent system, the

larger the air shutter opening will need to be.

• An appliance operated with the air shutter

opened too far, may have ﬂames that appear blue and transparent. These weak, blue and transparent ﬂames are termed anemic.

• Propane models may exhibit ames

which candle or appear stringy. If this is present and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more closed position, then operate the appliance for a few more minutes to ensure that the ﬂame normalizes and the ﬂames do not appear sooty.

The following chart is provided to aid you in achieving the correct air shutter adjustment for your installation.

LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS • MERIT PLUS® DIRECT VENT GAS FIREPLACES (MPD33/35/40/45) • INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Air shutter adjustment should only be performed by a qualiﬁed professional service technician.

• Ensure front glass panel are in place and sealed during adjustment.

CAUTION

• Soot will be produced if the air shutter is closed too much. Any damage due to sooting, resulting from improperly setting the air shutter, is not covered under the warranty.

• The air shutter door and nearby appliance surfaces are hot. Exercise caution to avoid injury while adjusting ﬂame appearance.

1. Refer to Figures 61, 62 and 63 for

proper ﬂame appearance. To adjust the ﬂame, rotate the adjustment rod toward the back or toward the front of the ﬁreplace (rod located in the lower control area). Position the air shutter to the factory setting as shown in the table in Figure 60.

2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure

on lighting label in control compartment or in the Care and Operation Instructions).

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least

15 minutes while observing the ﬂame continuously to ensure that the proper ﬂame appearance has been achieved. If the following conditions are present, adjust accordingly.

• If ame appears weak or sooty, adjust

the air shutter, incrementally, to a more open position until the proper ﬂame appearance is achieved.

• If ame remains blue, adjust the air

shutter, incrementally, to a more closed position until the proper ﬂame appearance is achieved.

4. When satisﬁed that the burner ﬂame

appearance is normal, reinstall the lower control compartment door, then proceed to ﬁnish the installation.
